Avery Ches
Fine Artist
Resume // Curriculum Vitae
Biography
Fine Artist, Photographer and Entrepreneur with 5 years professional and international experience, I create visual art through painting, drawing, photography and video of the natural world around me, seeking to express beauty, color, and the texture of life. After one semester of a Master in Painting and Drawing in France, I struck out on my own to focus on engaging with my art in real life, outside of academia. I strive to continue exhibiting and engaging with my audience around the world with authentic, intensely expressive and vibrant art.
